Our History
Our founder and president, R. Linda Resnick, pioneered executive search and organizational consulting in the mid-Atlantic region's growing high-technology sector. As large companies downsized in the late 1980's, Linda realized that the future would belong to innovative, smaller organizations. And she realized that such companies constituted an under served and misunderstood market segment.
With funding from Ben Franklin Technology Partners, a seed-stage venture fund, Linda created an executive hiring program at the University City Science Center, the nation's first urban business incubator. An entrepreneur among entrepreneurs, she broadened her practice to serve high-tech, biotech and other innovative organizations.
In doing so, Linda established CEO Resources, Inc. as a spin-off of her initial effort. She has since built a company, a loyal client base, an empowered team and a national reputation.
